At risk of covering old ground I've been looking to qualify for insurance thru Prestigio. The have told me I need Lvl 1&2 BMW try or a full day with downforce. The won't accept going out on the 28th with Ray or someone else in order to qualify and insist on a full cse. Problem is there don't appear to be any more downforce days thru continentals (except those at Taupo fully booked) and the next ones are next summer. The BMW way is an option but it appears the request are both cses now and I kinda want to learn to drive my car better not a BMer.
Are there any others out there with this problem or any thoughts on a solution or advice?

Ring Downforce and ask for Stu for half the day and share him with someone else on the day. They accepted this for me. Will cost you $500 in total.

Macca - since spotting you wearing yours I've cycled through both a speedy and a reduced. Great watches, they fill a special place. Now contemplating a Sinn - for some reason I'm obsessed about finding a watch that's as much German as possible.
in the german line - IWC pilot chrono for DD and A Lange & Sohn for dress for me. Didn't think of it as German preference when I bought just liked them

Both nice choices Graeme. Good taste.

The Chairman Mau watch knock off comment was just my sarcasm leaking out :-)

It must be lease hold?
Paul, illegally you have to advertise a leasehold property as being Leasehold.

Wow! thats quite a bit of kit. Once you start seriously getting into the accessories i imagine you are getting into big $$$ and thats without considering the glass.

Still, if you are serious about action videography its seems relatively accessible for what appears to be high end consumer system

I had the exact same reply from them through my broker. Only option I had was to get a downforce instructor (probably Ray) for a day on a play day at the cost of $800 +GST. I guess we could go halves? I'll have to check that's do-able with downforce and prestigio.

I was going to wait for the pcnz driver training day as I think they said that would qualify. Much cheaper if your a member(which I'm not but planning on it)
